22 * LZMA1 is the very same thing as what was called just LZMA in LZMA Utils,
23 * 7-Zip, and LZMA SDK. It's called LZMA1 here to prevent developers from
24 * accidentally using LZMA when they actually want LZMA2.

29 * \brief LZMA1 Filter ID with extended options (for raw encoder/decoder)
31 * This is like LZMA_FILTER_LZMA1 but with this ID a few extra options
32 * are supported in the lzma_options_lzma structure:
34 * - A flag to tell the encoder if the end of payload marker (EOPM) alias
35 * end of stream (EOS) marker must be written at the end of the stream.
36 * In contrast, LZMA_FILTER_LZMA1 always writes the end marker.
38 * - Decoder needs to be told the uncompressed size of the stream
39 * or that it is unknown (using the special value UINT64_MAX).
40 * If the size is known, a flag can be set to allow the presence of
41 * the end marker anyway. In contrast, LZMA_FILTER_LZMA1 always
42 * behaves as if the uncompressed size was unknown.
44 * This allows handling file formats where LZMA1 streams are used but where
45 * the end marker isn't allowed or where it might not (always) be present.
46 * This extended LZMA1 functionality is provided as a Filter ID for raw
47 * encoder and decoder instead of adding new encoder and decoder initialization
48 * functions because this way it is possible to also use extra filters,
49 * for example, LZMA_FILTER_X86 in a filter chain with LZMA_FILTER_LZMA1EXT,
50 * which might be needed to handle some file formats.

58 * support for LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH, uncompressed chunks (smaller expansion
59 * when trying to compress uncompressible data), possibility to change
60 * lc/lp/pb in the middle of encoding, and some other internal improvements.

71 * If you will use LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH often, the hash chains may be a better
72 * choice, because binary trees get much higher compression ratio penalty
73 * with LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH.
75 * The memory usage formulas are only rough estimates, which are closest to
76 * reality when dict_size is a power of two. The formulas are more complex
77 * in reality, and can also change a little between liblzma versions. Use

219 * \brief Dictionary size in bytes
221 * Dictionary size indicates how many bytes of the recently processed
222 * uncompressed data is kept in memory. One method to reduce size of
223 * the uncompressed data is to store distance-length pairs, which
224 * indicate what data to repeat from the dictionary buffer. Thus,
225 * the bigger the dictionary, the better the compression ratio
226 * usually is.
228 * Maximum size of the dictionary depends on multiple things:
229 * - Memory usage limit
230 * - Available address space (not a problem on 64-bit systems)
231 * - Selected match finder (encoder only)
233 * Currently the maximum dictionary size for encoding is 1.5 GiB
234 * (i.e. (UINT32_C(1) << 30) + (UINT32_C(1) << 29)) even on 64-bit
235 * systems for certain match finder implementation reasons. In the
236 * future, there may be match finders that support bigger
237 * dictionaries.
239 * Decoder already supports dictionaries up to 4 GiB - 1 B (i.e.
240 * UINT32_MAX), so increasing the maximum dictionary size of the
241 * encoder won't cause problems for old decoders.
243 * Because extremely small dictionaries sizes would have unneeded
244 * overhead in the decoder, the minimum dictionary size is 4096 bytes.

247 * than wasting memory.

254 * \brief Pointer to an initial dictionary
256 * It is possible to initialize the LZ77 history window using

258 * similar, relatively small chunks of data independently from
259 * each other. The preset dictionary should contain typical
260 * strings that occur in the files being compressed. The most
261 * probable strings should be near the end of the preset dictionary.
263 * This feature should be used only in special situations. For
264 * now, it works correctly only with raw encoding and decoding.
265 * Currently none of the container formats supported by
266 * liblzma allow preset dictionary when decoding, thus if
267 * you create a .xz or .lzma file with preset dictionary, it
268 * cannot be decoded with the regular decoder functions. In the

291 * How many of the highest bits of the previous uncompressed

293 * account when predicting the bits of the next literal.
295 * E.g. in typical English text, an upper-case letter is
296 * often followed by a lower-case letter, and a lower-case
297 * letter is usually followed by another lower-case letter.
298 * In the US-ASCII character set, the highest three bits are 010
299 * for upper-case letters and 011 for lower-case letters.
300 * When lc is at least 3, the literal coding can take advantage of
301 * this property in the uncompressed data.
303 * There is a limit that applies to literal context bits and literal
304 * position bits together: lc + lp <= 4. Without this limit the
305 * decoding could become very slow, which could have security related
306 * results in some cases like email servers doing virus scanning.
307 * This limit also simplifies the internal implementation in liblzma.
309 * There may be LZMA1 streams that have lc + lp > 4 (maximum possible
310 * lc would be 8). It is not possible to decode such streams with

329 * \brief Number of position bits

333 * (2^ pb =2^2=4), which is often a good choice when there's
334 * no better guess.
336 * When the alignment is known, setting pb accordingly may reduce
337 * the file size a little. E.g. with text files having one-byte
338 * alignment (US-ASCII, ISO-8859-*, UTF-8), setting pb=0 can
339 * improve compression slightly. For UTF-16 text, pb=1 is a good
340 * choice. If the alignment is an odd number like 3 bytes, pb=0
341 * might be the best choice.
343 * Even though the assumed alignment can be adjusted with pb and
344 * lp, LZMA1 and LZMA2 still slightly favor 16-byte alignment.
345 * It might be worth taking into account when designing file formats
346 * that are likely to be often compressed with LZMA1 or LZMA2.

362 * better candidates and encodes the match. (Naturally, if the found

366 * Bigger values usually increase the compression ratio and
367 * compression time. For most files, 32 to 128 is a good value,
368 * which gives very good compression ratio at good speed.
370 * The exact minimum value depends on the match finder. The maximum

380 * \brief Maximum search depth in the match finder
382 * For every input byte, match finder searches through the hash chain
383 * or binary tree in a loop, each iteration going one step deeper in
384 * the chain or tree. The searching stops if
385 * - a match of at least nice_len bytes long is found;
386 * - all match candidates from the hash chain or binary tree have
387 * been checked; or
388 * - maximum search depth is reached.
390 * Maximum search depth is needed to prevent the match finder from
391 * wasting too much time in case there are lots of short match
392 * candidates. On the other hand, stopping the search before all
393 * candidates have been checked can reduce compression ratio.
395 * Setting depth to zero tells liblzma to use an automatic default
396 * value, that depends on the selected match finder and nice_len.
397 * The default is in the range [4, 200] or so (it may vary between
398 * liblzma versions).
400 * Using a bigger depth value than the default can increase
401 * compression ratio in some cases. There is no strict maximum value,
402 * but high values (thousands or millions) should be used with care:
403 * the encoder could remain fast enough with typical input, but
404 * malicious input could cause the match finder to slow down
405 * dramatically, possibly creating a denial of service attack.

410 * \brief For LZMA_FILTER_LZMA1EXT: Extended flags
412 * This is used only with LZMA_FILTER_LZMA1EXT.
414 * Currently only one flag is supported, LZMA_LZMA1EXT_ALLOW_EOPM:
416 * - Encoder: If the flag is set, then end marker is written just
417 * like it is with LZMA_FILTER_LZMA1. Without this flag the
418 * end marker isn't written and the application has to store
419 * the uncompressed size somewhere outside the compressed stream.
420 * To decompress streams without the end marker, the appliation
421 * has to set the correct uncompressed size in ext_size_low and
422 * ext_size_high.
424 * - Decoder: If the uncompressed size in ext_size_low and
425 * ext_size_high is set to the special value UINT64_MAX
426 * (indicating unknown uncompressed size) then this flag is
427 * ignored and the end marker must always be present, that is,
428 * the behavior is identical to LZMA_FILTER_LZMA1.
430 * Otherwise, if this flag isn't set, then the input stream
431 * must not have the end marker; if the end marker is detected
432 * then it will result in LZMA_DATA_ERROR. This is useful when
433 * it is known that the stream must not have the end marker and
434 * strict validation is wanted.
436 * If this flag is set, then it is autodetected if the end marker
437 * is present after the specified number of uncompressed bytes
438 * has been decompressed (ext_size_low and ext_size_high). The
439 * end marker isn't allowed in any other position. This behavior
440 * is useful when uncompressed size is known but the end marker
441 * may or may not be present. This is the case, for example,
442 * in .7z files (valid .7z files that have the end marker in
443 * LZMA1 streams are rare but they do exist).

451 * The 64-bit uncompressed size is needed for decompression with
452 * LZMA_FILTER_LZMA1EXT. The size is ignored by the encoder.
454 * The special value UINT64_MAX indicates that the uncompressed size
455 * is unknown and that the end of payload marker (also known as
456 * end of stream marker) must be present to indicate the end of
457 * the LZMA1 stream. Any other value indicates the expected
458 * uncompressed size of the LZMA1 stream. (If LZMA1 was used together
459 * with filters that change the size of the data then the uncompressed
460 * size of the LZMA1 stream could be different than the final
461 * uncompressed size of the filtered stream.)
463 * ext_size_low holds the least significant 32 bits of the
464 * uncompressed size. The most significant 32 bits must be set
465 * in ext_size_high. The macro lzma_ext_size_set(opt_lzma, u64size)
466 * can be used to set these members.
468 * The 64-bit uncompressed size is split into two uint32_t variables
469 * because there were no reserved uint64_t members and using the
470 * same options structure for LZMA_FILTER_LZMA1, LZMA_FILTER_LZMA1EXT,
471 * and LZMA_FILTER_LZMA2 was otherwise more convenient than having
472 * a new options structure for LZMA_FILTER_LZMA1EXT. (Replacing two
